Update: Tasked with the majority of medical care to the city of Petit Goave, the medical team members involved with the AFH clinic have learned quickly how to operate outside of their expertise. In the last week our teams have seen an average of 300 patients per day and delivered 5-10 babies per day. Recently a team member commented that in one day he helped treat a septic two month old with a temperature of 105, a six year old with meningitis that came in seizing, a finger amputation, an ectopic pregnancy requiring emergency surgery, an acute appendicitis not to mention the five other deliveries that came in throughout the night. “I would have never had the opportunity to have this type of impact anywhere else” one said. One night after finishing up seeing 300 patients, an individual that had been hit in the face with a rock came in with a major fracture. “We were able to stabilize him and send him to the airport for more care, something 3 months ago would have never been possible in Petit Goave” said a EMT on base.
God’s blessing continue to be poured out on the work of AFH. Recently an individual walked onto the base with an offer of 5 truckloads of rice and beans. This blessing will soon be alleviating the hunger of many haitian people in the region. Finally, yesterday, the Red Cross moved into city to alleviate some of the medical work we have been providing to the city. Soon they should be operating in the remnants of the hospital in town. This will free us up to shift to providing care more to the rural regions around this area that have still not been touched by the aid pouring into Haiti. We could not do this without your help, thank you for partnering with us in Haiti.
Please pray that we would have discernment to work in a way that would best show the love of Christ to the people of Haiti. In all things this is our main goal. Once again, please consider partnering with us in Haiti and donating below.
